To The Editor:
In the June 16th issue of Look magazine. there is an article
revealing the presence and location of a CIA agency in this area.
Whether this be fact or not, I'm sure I speak for every Ameri-
can when I say it's sad enough to think that our adversaries
know our every move, without serving it to them on a silver
platter! _ ,.
To The Editor:
~,-
_d -
::
For the sake of, discussion let us assume that , there is a CIA
office here in 12iami...Does Look magazine consider their disclos-
:hg it a "big scoop?" Are we not, as Americans, permitted to
have Central Intelligence Agencies wherever we inay need them?
. Look magazine along with another four lettered magazine will
never be read by me. Their articles, editorials and photos do not;
in my opinion, contribute anything to the security of the U.S.
They doubtlessly will continue to have many subscribers, but be-
ing fortunate enough to live in a country that is still free, I am
still able to. present my views, loud and clear.

Look magazine re ported to-
day that the CIA has operated
an office on the. University of
Miami South Campus under the
guise of an electronics research
firm.
The Look article "conies as a

Dr. Henry Kin; :Lanford, U?M
president.
And the head of the firm in
the building n:nued by the
magazine as the Central Intel-
ligence Agency address said,
"I don't know what they are
talking about."
The article in rfnestion, called
"CIA, the Invisible Govern-

Attempts by 'certain men in government.-
in in Washington to manage the news are,
i} not new. The managempnt of news has
been tried by many in a number of ad-
minisirations. It is always a cause for deep
+ Concern.
01' late this attempt by some in govern-.
ntcnt to control what is printed and said
has reached a new and dangerous level.
i. ` Later this month a book dealing with the
secret ihtclligencc operations of the U.S.
1 government will be published. The book
. 1 is titI d "Tile Invisible Government." The
`authors are Thomas B. Ross of the Wash-
ington Bureau of The Sun-Times and
David Wise of the New York Herald Trib-
unc. Both authors are newsmen cif high
{ repute and unquestioned. patriotism.
ll A strong effort to alter or wholly sup-
press this book has been made, by agents
or representatives oC the Central Intel-
ligence Agency.
TJIc efforts have been many and varied.
1 CIA, officials have "leaked" stories to fa-
y voted newsmen alleging that the book is
full of errors of fact. The CIA does not give
proof of this charge.
Random House, publishers of the book,
has ben approached and pressured by
.CIA spokesmen to alter the text of the
book or to stop its publication.
Look magazine, ttwhicli printed an ex-
cerpt from the book last week', was ap-.
proached for the same purpose.
The CIA has gone so far as to try to
buy up the entire first printing of the book
_(using taxpayers' money) so the public
would never see the book.
The CIA has alleged that the authors
exposed current intelligence operations and
the i anlcs of agents and thus. destroyed.
i. the usef uintss of both the operations and
1 agents.
Both charges are untrue. The operations
mentioned are past history. The agents 'r.
mentioned have all been previously iden-
tified publicly.
The efforts made by the CIA to dis-
credit or suppress this book are both con-
temptible and frightening. There must be
a. reason for such bold' attempts to abridge
the rights of the free press. There is such
a reason so far as'the CIA is concerned.'
The CIA is a quasi-military, autono-
mous intelligence operation. It does not
j answer to. Congress as do other govern-
,fineat agencies. It does not make an ac-
c.cnnliiiig of its expenditures of taxpayers'
'money, as do other government agencies.
As the authors of "The Invisible Govern-
ment" point out, the. CIA is, in effect, an
independent government of. itself, unre-
stricted and unchecked by the laws and i
customs of consiitutional government.
